When do you miss home the most?

When you smell the smell of food wafting from the neighbor's house in the rental house;

When you hear the opening song of the news broadcast on the TV;

Or when someone else comes home on a holiday and you're still working overtime alone;

……

Is it lonely, is it lonely, is it homesick?

But the reality often becomes the phrase that keeps saying, "I'm fine now." ”

We often say that after staying anywhere for a long time, a foreign land will become a hometown.

Just like the song "Just Like a Teenager" sings:

Later, I was busy, then I was disappointed, and then I was my hometown

I still remember that you left home with a lonely heart and went to a strange city to struggle alone.

You began to build a wall called Strong, to hide all vulnerability.

When you were a child, you may still feel that if you cry a lot, everything will be fine.

But now you find that the more lonely and vulnerable people are, there is only one way to find solace, and that is to become more and more homesick.

It's false to say that it doesn't matter, and to say that you can bear everything is just to be strong.

I remember watching a video before:

After graduating from college, leaving home, going to a bigger world, when you say goodbye, don't let yourself cry, that's you;

Standing in a crowded subway, desperately looking for your place, that's you;

When you eat alone, like an explanation to yourself, that's you;

When I was homesick, I only said that I was fine, and that was you.

That's what you are, wandering alone for so many years.

From the initial fearlessness to the current gritted teeth and persistence, how many times have you thought about going home?

A few days ago, I was chatting with a friend, only to find out that we have been drifting north for more than five years.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, you can only go home for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

Talking nonsense with others, talking about anything about love and career, falling out of love is just a boring meal, and being unemployed is just bowing your head again.

Over the years, I have been tired, bitter, sad, and sad, but I have rarely cried.

I've heard all the bad words, and I've sung all the bitter love songs.

Only when the word "home" is mentioned, I want to cover his mouth and ask him to stop talking.

Only the word "home" was heard in the song, so I stopped cutting the song key and listened quietly alone.

The outside world is big, and it's not easy to find a place where you can feel home, and the song is the way home for most strangers.

After five years away from home, life has indeed become colorful.

I've seen a lot of things I've never seen before, I've eaten a lot of things I've never eaten, and I've opened my eyes and gained knowledge.

Compared with my hometown, the city I live in is dazzling, I want to see every scenery, and I want to taste every food.

I always felt that I had grown up and seen the world, and my wings were stiff.

But no matter how exciting the outside world is, no matter how high you fly, you will still miss the plate of vinegared shredded potatoes fried by my mother.

People are like that, when you feel confident that you can fly farther, you are finally not afraid of anything.

But the more people you meet and the farther you go, the more homesick you become.

What do you do when you're particularly homesick?

Call home, cook your own meal, or keep yourself busy at work......

But I met a special friend who had a habit of listening to ballads whenever he was homesick.

He said that only folk songs can convey those true and simple emotions in his heart.

I remember one time, he asked us to go to KTV for a drink and ordered a song "Ideal Lent".

Just grow old, don't wake up lonely.

The poetry radio station under the smoke sang song by song, and without buying a ticket to return to his hometown, the old tin sheet would still open to the south.

It's easy to get drunk when you drink too much wine, and if you listen to too many songs, you can at least sleep peacefully.

Those places that the body can't go, at least in dreams.

For him, this song is a necessary "booster" when he is homesick again and again.

It was also since then that I learned to listen to folk songs when I was homesick.

What is not in reality, there is something in the song, what you can't go back to in reality, the song will take you to find it in your dreams.

also remembered the person who sang the ballad: Chen Hongyu.

The reason why I am impressed is because of his unique voice, which is the best interpretation of the years.

I remember reading a question asking what it was like to listen to Chen Hongyu's songs?

One of the most vivid answers I've ever seen is: It's like someone is pulling their headphones and singing to you.

Sing what you think, sing what you dare not think.

Probably because we are all like him, longing for the distance when we are at home and nostalgic for our hometown when we are wandering.

But as the song goes:

Wandering is a road sign that must be passed to grow.

When I was a child, I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I said I was going to Beijing to do something big and become a scientist.

And the man said, Dream.

When I grew up, someone asked me what I wanted to do in the future.

I said, keep dreaming.

Those unrealistic in the eyes of others are the dreams I have always adhered to, the only reason why I stick to Beijing and my wandering land.

Even if the time passes in the blink of an eye, even if I forget the promise I made to myself at that time.

Even the further I go, the more homesick I become, and I want to continue to grit my teeth and hold on.

is like Chen Hongyu singing in the new song "Dreamland":

Childhood is not there

Don't be greedy for time

Half of my life has been in a trance

A hundred years can be awakened

The teenager is not homesick, homesickness arises, and he is no longer a teenager.

Homesick?

Loneliness?

Are you still dreaming?

Just like Chen Hongyu, he sang from "Ideal Thirty Years" to "Walking Song", from "Just Like a Youth" to "Returning to the Hometown".

He has always been on the road of pursuing freedom and dreams, regardless of the disturbances of the outside world, not worldly, and after a thousand sails, he is still a teenager.

Dreams to be made, hometown to return, is the road that every wandering person insists on walking.

Although I still often say "I'm fine", I haven't forgotten the way I came and the dream I had at that time.

I haven't forgotten that my hometown in the distance always has my way back,

Everyone who is adrift in a foreign land, are you doing well now?

Is someone by your side to take care of you when you're sick?

Is it homesick when you're lonely?

At least, under the melody of the song "Dreamland", you can sleep well and not forget the way home.

May all your thoughts be exchanged for a reunion after a long absence, and may the person you miss meet you again as soon as possible.

I hope that everyone who works hard outside can live as you want.

can return to their hometown without regrets one day in the future.

Not to give in, but to grow.
